Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Having female viera is lore breaking too. Very few leave the woods and those that do are exiled and loose the ability to 'speak' to the forest. So if we are going by lore and not breaking it why is the entire female population of the viera suddenly in Limsa dancing in their smalls

Thats not lore breaking...you literally just described actual lore...Females do leave the woods.
Dancing in their smalls? Thats the player, not the Viera race XD

Its always been in the Lore that the Males are never seen, they stay hidden in the woods. It anyone ever see's one, its like a 1/Millionth chance. So for people that know the Viera pretty well, this is lore Breaking if we suddenly get a massive Influx of Male Viera running around.

Male Miqo'te have left the chat.

They do not have rabbit ears, no. But they are an ex-genderlocked race who's excuse behind it was due to the rarity of the males, and eventually ended with their genderlock being lifted and are now littering the streets with their catboy charm.

*Few* Females leave the woods. Yet we have hundreds of them running around...They are ment to be rare but suddenly have an influx of them come ShB. Also their starting gear is pretty much lingerie even if it is ment to be Frans outfit

Again...Male Miqo'te are not Male Viera. 2 different Races with separate lores and Histories. Viera Existed way before the Miqo'te as well.

When were Female Viera rare? I mean sure there isn't a MASSIVE influx of them in cities, but they arn't Rare.

Really coz on Zodiark every other player seems to have gone bunny. The lore reason don't really swing just admit yah dont want male buns because you dont want to see men running around in next to nothing.

I won't admit that, because that was never my argument, and it has no relevance to my stance or feelings on Male Viera.

Mhm, of course not. I won't tell them off, call them out for it and what not. What I will do is actively ignore them. They're not hurting me - they're not breaking any rules or the likes. It's just something that goes against my personal taste and aesthetic. The worst I've done is blacklist someone, but even that was because I found their personality obnoxious which matched with their outfit.

So, yes, I understand their argument but I'm not going to ignore the fact there is a huge error with it. Viera is my favourite race - always has been. Already mentioned in the past that this was the first time as a child that I saw a powerful black female protag - Fran, and that gave me something to relate to. Little 12 year old me wanted to be a Viera so bad, haha. So, obviously, the Viera left a good impact on me. Would I be appalled if the males look like trash and go against what I imagined in my head? Perhaps. Will I bar people from playing it because of my sensibilities? No.
